I'm just thinking like why would you want to keep people who aren't capable of contributing in society any more alive rather than those who have decades ahead of them.. seems like a waste of resources if you ask me, regardless of how cynical that opinion might seem.
this is pretty much eugenics...
why do you assume old people don't contribute anymore tho?
I don't like throwing around those words but to assign value to a person based on their ability to 'contribute' to society is not only deeply against human nature but also restricted by what one thinks is a valid contribution to society - is it only those who have a job and contribute to economic growth?
What do you think makes a person worthless to a society?
are you going to tell me that someone who lives in a home who doesn't even remember who they are contributes to society in a useful way (other than ensuring that some people get jobs to take care of them)
